Converting EXR to BPG

EXR or OpenEXR is a free image file format developed by Industrial Light & Magic, a company specialized in producing visual effects for Hollywood films. The format was released in the year 2000 with the aim of offering more color fidelity in the visual effects industry. EXR images can include both lossy and lossless compression and offer a dynamic image range and wider options for processing.

BPG is a new and promising image format, which currently provides the most advanced technology in image compression. Released in 2014 by software developer Fabrice Bellard, the BPG format has been shown to include the best quality/size ratio, when compared to other popular formats such as JPG or PNG. The number of image viewers that can open BPG files is currently limited, but is expected to grow in the near future. For easier access, conversion can be done to and from the BPG format.
